How does growing up an immigrant — born in one place, coming of age in another — affect who you become? How do the traumas of coming to a new country as a child affect early adulthood? Why are immigrants viewed as statistics rather than human beings with real thoughts, emotions, and aspirations? How does the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the term "DREAMers" enforce the perception of what a "good immigrant" looks like? We’ll explore these questions, and more, in our podcas ...

In this one, we delve into the relative reliability of different types of studies when it comes to exercise and/or nutrition. In particular, epidemiological studies vs RCT's when double blinded, selection biases accounted for and large enough samplings and/or times to make conclusions more or less objective. When looking at many studies, we often o…

Jerome and I are both preparing for a bodybuilding competition of this recording. Jerome in November 2023 and myself in April 2024. Please note these are both fully natural drug tested contests. Together we go through a powerpoint presentation that he did on his youtube channel... I will link to it.... also, I'll include the youtube version link of…

In this second instalment, Daniel and I cover a wide range of topics, some of which deal with what truly matters in exercise and what might not be worth agonizing over. This shows that after long journeys, that start with the simple, then delve into much complexity, the destination often winds up right back at the simple. Daniel was (still is?) a M…

I really enjoy doing these and this one was a special treat. Mark is an advocate of intelligent, brief, intense exercise and practices the carnivore diet which he credits with dramatically improving issues he's had with autoimmune ailments. Mark is a super nice guy with whom I share many commonalities but mostly, I like the combination of his criti…

As fellow fans of both rational strength training and philosopher Ayn Rand, I really hit it off with Hawk. This was one of my favourite interviews, and hope to do more in the future. He is located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the past he's competed in both kickboxing and bodybuilding and today he trains clients, as I do, on a one on one b…

I recently became aware of Jerome through the facebook page, "Mark's Health & Nutritional Group" where his youtube channel was recommended. After listening to a few of his videos, I was very impressed. First off, I was impressed by the thoroughness with which Jerome had done his homework, not just quoting study results he'd read or heard about, but…

Have been a long time fan of Richard's "MedFitness minute" quick videos that make salient points about health and exercise. And am impressed at his diligence of never missing a day!

thanks Thomas Frayne for providing this video.... while there was undoubtedly some good info in this video, it reminded me of my thoughts on the 150 minutes of weekly activity that is generally recommended. I give some thoughts on this, which I've done before as well as his comments on the "myth" that running ruins knees. Lieberman video: https://y…

Recently I received an email from Thomas Frayne who had watched my interview with Mark Asanovich. His questions primarily came from the field of athletics/sports, which is certainly not my emphasis. I tend to focus more on helping regular folks, particularly an older population, stay as strong as possible, as safely and efficiently as possible, in …

In which I ramble about whether pushing for maximum intensity will improve results, vs adequate intensity and making sure workouts are not so intense that you can't adequately recover from, particularly with an older clientele. Interested to get others' opinions on this, from within and without the HIT community.…

In which I challenge to some degree the standard recommendations of 10,000 steps per day and/or 150 minutes of activity per week. I suspect strongly that these are based on observational studies with a myriad of confounding variables and are pretty much arbitrary. Forgive listeners for not seeing screen share. Here is link to youtube version: https…

Clients sometimes come in with pain in knees and/or joints and/or shoulders and question whether intensely strength training might not be good that day, however they then go out and walk, snowshoe, hike, cross country ski or play various sports. My opinion is that they are confusing activities that are not intense on muscles but high force on joint…

Will elaborate in future, and/or possibly (almost certainly) this list will evolve Sleep Strength train safely, briefly, intensely, 1-3x weekly. ( see #7) Move often at leisurely pace. More often, not more overall is better. Outside when convenient. Eliminate seed oils. Emphasize protein. Avoid or minimize foods that contain both fat and carbs in t…

Another very informative and entertaining conversation with an important member of one of the most successful exercise instruction organizations in the world today. "Discover Strength" is doing more than its part to bring proper strength training to the masses. It's about time that this important information becomes more widely disseminated and Luk…

Arjan's youtube channel is one I've watched with interest over the years, and highly recommend. Not afraid to try new things, and adapting them to work for him, he exemplifies the concept, I've heard called "Principles vs Practices". I've come to suspect that many in the strength training community suffer from "confirmation bias", immediately rejec…

(nickname: "Charts") footnote: I wish I'd added the following: "truth is, if you're reading (or listening or watching) this, you have that second chance that others did not get, and would the…

This was a lot of fun. Javier was self-conscious about his english but I think he did just fine..... note that for some reason, Javier felt that he could learn from me, but based on the great questions he asked, he needs to give himself much more credit, as he obviously is quite knowledgeable. Also of note, is his work with semi pro and professiona…

Nigel runs a successful HIT facility but beyond that he works on behaviour modification with clients' nutrition and body composition goals. This is something that I've struggled with personally (as we al do?) and also with the challenge of having more than minimal influence over what clients do before and after they spend their weekly time with me.…

ANIBAL LOPEZ This was a great conversation with 80 year old Anibal who learned of Nautilus Principles after decades of conventional training, and was able to open his mind to the logic of the approach. He met Arthur Jones, Ellington Darden and was trained by Jim Flanagan for about 2 years. (not to mention training with or meeting many legends such …

My thoughts on the following: 1. The value of proper exercise on slowing down, stopping or reversing sarcopenia which has profound effects on quality of life (possibly longevity) and health care costs. 2. What the rate at which sarcopenia is thought to occur might tell us about how long it takes to "detrain" if we miss workouts 3. Based on #2, how …

Between a bit of rambling on this entry, I share what I think of an excellent tip on keeping you and/or your clients meaningfully loaded during your set of proper exercise. Doing this will help you better achieve the primary goal of exercise; to create fatigue (inroad) as deeply, efficiently and safely as possible in order to create an effective st…

A client I trained this morning relayed that he was told by a surgeon that he needed to strengthen his quadriceps muscles in order to manage pain in a knee that was previously operated on. His thoughts were to add more time on a stationery bike over and above his strength training. This inspired this post.…

As human beings, I believe we have an irrational and illusory need for certainty. This leads us to grasp onto conclusions too quickly and then commit to them in a way that makes it difficult for us to consider other information or viewpoints. Couple this with the almost addictive and insidious allure of wanting to be "the smartest person in the roo…

In which I ponder to what extent actually carrying extra fat on our body is detrimental compared to the excess calories (and poor food choices that often accompany this) we consume in order to get that extra fat, which, in and of itself, creates a stress to our health with health consequences of their own? How much of a toll is continuously digesti…

This was very interesting.... for a number of reasons, as Luke has gone through many if not all strength training modalities, and all did produce results for him, he got stronger, but also a couple of torn biceps surgeries to show for it. Also, Luke is first and foremost in my opinion, a critical thinker, balancing well between first principles, ex…
